Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similar towns during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency after the collapse of small-coin circulation in 1936. The Colectividad Municipal Única designation signals collectivized local authority — typical of anarcho-syndicalist administered territories in Republican Aragon, where the CNT effectively controlled municipal functions.
The near-square format is a consequence of the tiny denomination, not a design choice. At this size, these were frequently lost, torn, or simply discarded once regional currency schemes superseded local issues.
